re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

    Why don't we just make a page for each broomstick 0.0?

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

Because there isn't enough information for each one. It would be byte-whoring otherwise.

    Yes there is. Wikia do it, and wikia are very good. I like wikia, thats where I found out that Nevile Longbottom could be related to Bellatrix Lestrange.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

Care to show me an example of a less known broom such as the Moontrimmer?

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

The reason I added a list of brooms to The Firebolt page was to flesh it out a bit more. I will make a page for each broom even if it only has a sentence or two with a picture. That way all of the broom pages can be linked together.

I do agree with Benedict when many other sites have done this. As long as it has a nice picture of it and a short description about it and when and where it was mentioned, it will look fine.

Oh look, this is exactly what I mean. For some brooms there simply isn't enough information to warrant a page of it's own.
Anyway, therefore only some brooms warrant a page (The Firebolt is a difficult one as the information is neither too little or too much), so if there isn't already one, I would suggest creating a page on Broomsticks like we have done to the Doctor Who Creatures Page.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

I knew there was a page somewhere. XD

But under some of the titles put a link to the Main Page.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

I just made it Shayn. xD

I'll do it later. I'm creating a Chaser page at the moment. There are so many Wanted Pages. I haven't done any wiki editing in a while so I think its time for me to get back into it.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

Clever idea though. Although personally I think that kind of category should be left "red linked", but I guess if Simon is fine with it, that's all the matters.

Alot of wanted pages for that wiki can either be duplicate pages or can be a sub-category on a much larger page.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

There isn't pictures for most of the brooms. I went through them in the Wikia, well the list it shows, and some of them have a sentence, saying who made it, the year it was made, and that is about it. Others have reference to the books as people own them, such as firebolt, nimbus 2001, and a few others, but that still doesn't add up to enough for full pages on all. The main brooms, which will have a lot of history in the books as well, such as Nimbus 2000, Harry first broom, given to him before his first quidditch match, broken in the third book during a storm, there is a fair bit that can be said about it, so this could have its own page, with a link from another page leading to main topic. But others, such as the one lykerok pointed out are going to be wasted pages. Like this Tinderblast page on our Neowiki, has a sentence about it, then has been bulked out with information on other brooms, which is irrelevant to the page itself. If you are adamant on making a page about each broom, the information on all the others shouldn't be on it. Therefore creating wasted space on the pages that can't be filled up with pictures if there isn't any, cant be filled up with information if we don't have any.


Benedict: As for the wikia doing it, that is the Wikia's choice, i do like the wikia's, it is very informative in helping me remember things i had forgotten, but some of their pages i dislike as it is a waste of space on the page to have a sentence and nothing else.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

BASICALLY, this wiki needs alot of sorting out and you should relly be focusing on that rather than adding little bits of information at a time on new pages. Perhaps focos on the pages that already exist and make them neater and a better source of information, and sort out the excessive amounts of wanted and short pages the wiki has before adding new oages that aren't referenced anywhere else.

Just a suggestion though.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

Who keeps editing what I have written because it sounds worse and there are loads of spelling/grammar mistakes. This on the Chaser page. And the word chaser has been oversued so it sounds stupid.

Chaser this, chaser that and chasers do this. It doesn't sound right.

re: [Planning] Harry Potter NeoWiki

I've re-worded it to try and make it sound better...what do you think?

Also while I'm at it, don't pay attention to wikia. A lot of their info is based on theory. So I wouldn't believe anything about a relationship between Neville and Belatrix Lestrange.
